No, the second release of 6.3 added R10K support; the first release
was R5000 O2 only.

It was *only* supported on the O2. 6.3 was the O2 platform
specific release.

Cheers all, i realize 6.3 is old, but its the disks we have here. My
problem is this. Im trying to install this on old sun O2 machines that
already have an existing irix install on them. I basically want to
whipe the system clean and start fresh. So i boot up, hit esc, install
system software, blablabla select cd rom, reboots, boots up

IRIX release 6.3
.....
Current system date is....

Mounting file systems:

/dev/dsk/dks0d1s0: Invalid agrument

Unable to mount partition: /dev/dskdks0d1s0 on /root.
This is your system disk: without it we have nothing
on which to install software.

Please manually correct your configuration and try again.

does anyone know what im doing wrong?
in the boot menu, i am trying to install the OS from Local SCSI CD-ROM
drive 4

thanks. im so confused. Cheers,
Adam.
